Has run a pair of very fair races at Down Royal over 7f recently, not quite getting splits when needed. Will need luck to change here, and hasn't enjoyed any favours with the draw, but perhaps one of those flying in under the radar.

Maiden after 19 starts, though was only beaten 1¾L over 6f here in 30-runner handicap this month, stable has since hit purple patch. Has poor draw to overcome but cannot be ruled out with Smullen to aid.

Another one that wasn't beaten all that far in similar contest here earlier in the month, unable to mount a challenge but finished just over 2L down. Decent draw but likely hunting for place money at best.

String of poor efforts already since joining this yard and lowly mark in comparison to old form is about the only positive at the moment, well held over a mile at Dundalk on Friday, cheekpieces added now.

Verdict

A fiendish puzzle for punters to solve last thing on a Sunday evening, plenty of luck in running will be required to get home first. Zeeyalater delivered on recent promise when scoring at Tipperary and should remain competitive off his new mark, though the draw is not ideal. With the Dermot Weld team now flying, A Likely Story is on the shortlist but again, the draw is a negative. Zippy is in good heart if handling this shorter trip while Brave Display is weighted to go well if producing his best stuff. Lake George is primed to run a big race and fairly handicapped if doing so while the luckless Shelbe would be higher on the shortlist but for a poor draw. LITTLE WHITE OWL has had just five runs but David Marnane's filly ran a stormer here recently in a similar contest. She's drawn to be handy again and Killian Leonard's mount could improve enough to land this tough contest.
